Top 7 Romantic Tampa Spa Tub Suites for Couples:

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa I-75 Romantic Hot Tub Suite

  • Holiday Inn Express and Suites Tampa I-75 - Don’t you love it when a chain hotel surprises you and actually over-delivers? That’s how we felt after our 1-night stay in Room 320 at this IHG Hotel 20 minutes north of Tampa. The 2-bedroom suite was H-U-G-E, the jetted tub worked perfectly, they’ve got a palm-fringed outdoor heated pool (a nice surprise in January!), and, get this: there’s free ice cream sandwiches in the lobby nightly at 8:00 PM! What We Liked: Room was fresh and sparkling clean, loads of free parking, free hot breakfast. Worth Knowing: To book a Whirlpool suite, look for the Two Bedroom Suite on IHG.com - they call it a Garden Tub, but it’s jetted. ERV Rating*: 94% - Excellent. Spa Tub Size: 1 Person. √ ERV Clean Score: A (8310 Galbraith Rd, Tampa FL 813-910-7171) Attractions Close to this Hot Tub Suite Hotel: Lettuce Lake (6 miles), Busch Gardens (10 miles). 
  • Rates from $247/night.

  • Hilton Garden Inn Tampa East/Brandon - Give me a Hilton Garden Inn spa bath suite close to dining and shops, and I’m happy. That’s what you get here at this solidly mid-range hotel just 15 minutes southeast of downtown Tampa. The King 1 Bedroom Whirlpool Suites are nice because they have a separate living area, and in addition to the tub, you get some niceties like Keurig Coffee machines, heated outdoor pool, and heaps of free parking. Pros: Very little outside noise noticed inside the rooms...Complimentary shuttle anywhere within 5 miles of the hotel. Cons: Shuttle doesn't go to the TPA airport. ERV Rating*: 80% - Very Good. Whirlpool Tub Size: 1-2 Persons. √ ERV Clean Score: C (10309 Highland Manor Dr, Tampa FL 813-626-6700) Attractions Close to this Hilton Hotel: The Florida Aquarium, Downtown Tampa (10 miles), Westfield Brandon Mall (4 miles). 
  • Rates from $165/night.

Country Inn & Suites Tampa Airport North Budget-Friendly Spa Suite

Corner Whirlpool Tub in a Room at Country Inn & Suites, Tampa Airport2-Person Spa Tub, Country Inn, Tampa Airport
  • Country Inn & Suites Tampa Airport North - Thoroughly comfortable and priced right, these spa tub suites at the Country Inn also include free parking, free breakfast and free airport shuttle. I checked, and if needed, you can request a complimentary check-out time extension by 1 hour. If you need your romantic getaway in Tampa to be as budget-friendly as possible, it's hard to beat this Country Inn. Pros: Quiet for an airport hotel. Cons: If you’re using Uber to/from the hotel, confirm that they know Benjamin Rd. ERV Rating*: 76% - Good. Whirlpool Tub Size: 2 Persons. √ ERV Clean Score: C (8109 Benjamin Rd, Tampa FL 813-578-7042). Attractions Nearby: Busch Gardens (9 miles)

Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa-Wesley Chapel Cozy Jetted Tub Suite

Whirlpool Tub & Walk-In Shower at the Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa-Wesley Chapel.Spa Tub Suite, Hampton Inn Wesley Chapel
  • Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa Wesley Chapel - If you could perfectly combine comfortable Whirlpool tub bubbles with “bang for the buck”, you’d have this romantic Hilton 30 minutes north of downtown Tampa. The usual Hampton amenities are all here - complimentary breakfast and parking, pool, and Hampton Inn beds are among the most comfortable of any major hotel chain. When booking, look for their King Bed Studio w/Whirlpool Tub. Pros: Very clean hotel, including the pool. Handy location close to eateries. Cons: Older hotel. ERV Rating*: 90% - Excellent. Whirlpool Tub Size: 1-2 Persons. √ ERV Clean Score: A  (2740 Cypress Ridge Blvd, Wesley Chapel FL 813-973--2288) Attractions Close to This Hampton Inn: The Shops at Wiregrass (2.5 miles), Tampa Premium Outlets (2 miles)
  • Rates from $149/night.

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa Luxury Spa Tub Suite

Hard Rock Hotel Whirlpool Suite in Tampa, FloridaSpa Tub Suite - Hard Rock Hotel Tampa
  • Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa - There’s a lot of hotels in Tampa that can get you into a hot tub suite, but none with as much entertainment, dining and action as this resort. Now, here's the situation with their tubs: the West Tower has the spa bath tubs (Gold Suite - see the photo above), but the rooms are not quite as nice as the East Tower, which have soaker tubs instead of jetted in the Gold Suites. Pros: Very nice pool and pool bar. Cons: Ventilation and A/C could use some improvements. ERV Rating*: 70% - Good. Whirlpool Tub Size: 2 Persons. √ ERV Clean Score: B (5223 Orient Rd, Tampa FL 866-388-4263) Attractions Close to the Hard Rock Hotel: Ybor City Neighborhood (4.5 miles)
  • Rates from $719/night.

Best Western Plus Yacht Harbor Dunedin Waterfront Jetted Suite

Corner Jetted Tub in a Whirlpool Suite at the Best Western Plus in Dunedin, FloridaBest Western Whirlpool Suite, Dunedin FL
  • Best Western Plus Yacht Harbor - How about an attractive in-room jetted tub close to a marina in this very attractive community inside the Tampa Metro Area? This Best Western is back fresh from a renovation, and I think the large rooms, corner Whirlpool tubs and onsite restaurant & bar, Bon Appetit, make this a solid choice. Pros: Great waterfront location only a couple blocks from shops and dining in downtown Dunedin. Cons: Elevator sometimes not operating. ERV Rating*: 80% - Very Good. Whirlpool Tub Size: 1-2 Persons. √ ERV Clean Score: A (150 Marina Plaza, Dunedin FL 727-733-4121) Distance to: Dunedin Downtown Market: (1/2 mile), Dunedin Fine Art Center (7 miles).

Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park Romantic Jetted Tub Suite

The Hilton Saint Petersburg Carillon Park has Jetted Tub Suites in Saint Petersburg, FloridaHilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park at Night
  • Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park  - It’s hard to miss this Hilton on Carillon Drive, and you’ll be glad you didn’t once you slip soak in the bubbles of one of their King One Bedroom Mini Suites, which offer up a jetted tub in the master bath. Another thing I love about this Hotel is the convenient food and drink options: Starbucks coffee is available downstairs, and you can walk to Publix Market and Panera Breads. Pros: Lots of free parking...Cocktails for 2 on the romantic Lakefront Terrace. Cons: Pool could use a few more lounge chairs. ERV Rating*: 88% - Very Good. Whirlpool Tub Size: 2 Persons. √ ERV Clean Score: A (950 Lake Carillon Dr, Saint Petersburg FL 727-540-0050) Attractions Nearby: Sunken Gardens (10 miles ), Dali Museum (12 miles).
